Prusa i3Mk2S Filament Guide for Side Feed

thingiverse

Take your kilo of filament off of the Z-frame of your Prusa i3Mk2S and set it on the table next to your printer. It makes changing filament a breeze, and it has significantly improved the quality of my prints. This is the second version of this handy accessory. I updated the clips so that they clear the print head when moving towards +X at or near the +Z limit. I also thinned out the clips and added holes all over them, which may seem like a cosmetic change but has actually made a big difference. The other crucial change was to straighten out the feed path by raising the center wheel and making the bracket separate so it can be rotated down. There is some strain on the filament as you approach +Z max and +X max, and I'm not entirely sure how well it will print there. But so far, it has been great everywhere else. My prints are typically pretty short in height, and I haven't had any problems at all. The final part of this accessory is quite flexible, which isn't a big deal for usability but means the clips can break if you hit them hard. UPDATE - I have separated the TUSH Remix² from the original design.
